a little slice of awesome

[peggyfromwastate]

Doing laundry-- changing the load from washer to dryer and I hear beep, beep, beeeeeep.... Then nothing. The sound of Dh's pager... dying...

Awesome? Well, maybe not whenever we figure out how much this will cost. But awesome because any death of a pager is awesome...

Maybe my dearest will figure out to clean out his pockets. I check his pockets, but these were cargo pants and so I guess I missed one of the 12 pockets. Ugh.

I texted him about it, and he texted: "That sucks". LOL. I am so over residency.

Rick killed one- dropped it in the toilet and the Army didn't even bat an eye- just replaced it.

For some reason my DH can't figure out how to clean his pockets either! And of course it is always the chapstick that sneaks past me...

During residency, I washed DH's pager more than once. It lived all three years. Haven't washed the fellowship pager yet.

I''m sure they'll just replace it! We brought dinner to DH a few nights ago and he was quite the sight with his two pagers on him plus the special phone he carries around when he is on the board.

DH demolished 4 pagers during residency. 3 just intern year. 2 were accidentally flushed. Dude is an amazing catastrophe.

My BF has already submerged 2, but they both survived...and this was just in med school! The kid cannot remember to empty his pockets to save his life. Over the course or 18 months or so, he's washed a pager, 2 passports, at least 80 pens, his hospital IDs (like 400 times) and probably $500 in cash. This is in addition to attempting to flush his phone and pager down the toilet (in separate incidents) and losing 4 student IDs and a tie. and Can't wait to see how many more things he washes/loses/ruins now that he'll be even more sleep deprived! At least it's entertaining for me. Probably because I don't have to replace the crap he ruins.

At least things will be quiet for a little while

Dh said they'd just issue him another one too. I just wished I'd really done something inventive to kill it tho. Washing it in the laundry is just so mundane!! I want to freeze it in a big ice block then drop it off of the side of a building and watch it break into smithereens or something...

And corn puffi... Wowza! That's a lot of crap to send thru the wash!

I refer to the cash left in DH's laundry as my gratuity.
